guns

If the US government wanted to disarm the populace (which it doesn't) do you really think they couldn't?

They're just a tad outnumbered and I'll bet choosing between the government that would try such a thing or their family/countrymen most would go over to the side of their countrymen.

Before you assume that you might consider the Milgram experiment.

Big difference between colledge students shocking each other and American authority members going toe to toe with Americans in a stand off.
not in the psychology and not if a good portion of the country already agrees with the policy.

I would venture to guess, you would have a different opinion about guns....

If it was Mexico.... on your southern border.

They still have Detroit to consider. :sad-little:


"A Detroit News analysis comparing statistics of U.S. cities with more than 200,000 residents -- released on Dec. 31 before the latest figures --- estimated the city's murder rate for the last year at 53 per 100,000 residents. It placed Detroit second for the city with the highest murder rates, just under New Orleans' rate of 54.2."

"America has a problem with guns, but the epicenter seems to be here in Detroit," Detroit's interim Police Chief Chester Logan said during the briefing. He added that he didn't think that the increase in violence was a problem that could be solved by restricting the public's access to guns or putting more officers on the streets.

When will the Liberals finally wake up. Do a little research. The murder problem is not Guns ---it is obviously the GANG BANGERS !!!!

At least 75 to 80 % of the problem. The other shootings get all the news and flags lowered at half mast ---Seems like no one cares about the 62 children killed in 2012 in Chicago by gangs !!!

62 children? Chronologically yes. 53 of them were between the ages of 15 and 18. 57 if you add the 14 year olds. That leaves 5 across all the other ages. You say they were killed by gangs? Those kids were IN gangs. People leave that fact out.
